Can I use the lenses I have been using with my Sony A700? (18-250mm, Minolta AF 50mm.

yes but any of your aps-c lenses will be forced into crop mode, since the a99 is a full-frame camera. would advise you ditch your 18-250 and invest in a 24-70 or similar full-frame compatible focal length to take advantage of the camera's entire sensor. Your miniolta 50 will be fine.

Yes, they will fit, but 18-250 is a lens for a cropped frame camera so while it will work, you most likely will experience some severe vignetting or camera will crop pictures for you automatically. The 50m lens is probably full frame one and won't have these issues.

Hi Lyle, yes the Minolta lens will work with the A99 camera. But it will be on a cropped frame. -Vincent

The Minolta 50 will work fully. The 18-250 would work in a reduced resolution crop mode.

Yes we had Minolta Max 7000 35 mm and bought Sony a100 our lens fit perfect and takes great pictures

if you have the typical 18-55mm that comes with the camera I don´t think you loose quality and will gain significant range of use with the 18-200. I have used this lenses extensively with relevant endurance tests. It is a very resistant. Have not use the 70-300mm

I dont know about the 7000 lens or flash however I had a Mi9nolta digital prior to the A 37 and i can use the Minolta 18/70 Minolta lens and a Quatro 70/300 lens . A minolta lens should work if it was for a digital camera . Bob C

It should be able to use any Minolta AF lens. The only one I have used so far is the prime 50mm and it works as it should.

Yes, I believe all lenses since the 70s are compatible. The D700 came out after my D300, but I'm sure it works with all the same functionality.

Minolta was aquired by Sony about six years ago. All Minolta autofocus lenses are compatible. There are third party manufacturers that make A-mount lenses too. The big ones are Tamron who Sony have invested in, Sigma and Tokina.When buying Sigma lenses you must ensure that the box has a compatible with Sony A33/55 logo on it or you will have to send the lens back to Sigma for an update. Sigma reverse engineer the lens mount rather than pay a license fee to the camera brands, so their lenses occasionally have compatibilty problems. Their lenses have a problem with the latest Sony cameras, A33, 35, 55, 65, 77 and any future model. Minolta was aquired by Sony about six years ago. All Minolta autofocus lenses are compatible.

Yes, any Minolta Auto-Focus (AF) lens, also known as Maxxum lenses, will fit onto the the Alpha-mount of the Sony a57 camera, and the auto-focus mechanism will function as designed. However, earlier Minolta manual focus lenses, designated as MC or MD mounts cannot be installed directly onto alpha-mount Sony cameras.

I have the same lense and it works fine. The auto focus and lense mount are compatible. Sony uses the same lense mount that Minolta used. Best of luck.

Oh yes, you can use Minolta, any new Sony, Carl Zeiss... As long as its alpha mount

I wasn't familar with the Max 7000 camera so I did some research and found out that the MAXXUM uses the same "A" mount which was introduced today as Sony's Alpha mount. You can find additional information at : http://www.kenrockwell.com/minolta/maxxum/7000.htm.I own the minolta 50mm f1.f AF Lens and use it on my Sony Alpha 77 and love it. I have taken great pictures with it.

Hi Lina, we cannot guarantee that your Sigma lens will work properly on this Sony Alpha a700 like auto focus, etc. You may refer to sigma support for this issue. -Ely

I don't have this specific camera or these lenses, but I am familiar with their dimensions. The camera with the 18-70mm lens attached will fit into the bottom (main) compartment with no problem. You *may* be able to fit the 70-210mm lens in the top compartment, but it might be a tight fit (I am assuming you have a Minolta "beercan" lens or something similar, about 6" long). I do not think you will be able to fit the camera with the 70-210mm lens mounted in the bottom compartment. You might be able to put the camera and the unmounted 70-210mm lens side by side in the bottom compartment - I wouldn't do that with my equipment, but it is up to you.

I use some of my older Minolta lenses and they work fine in manual mode, I'm not sure about your lenses but you can go into sony's web site and they tell you the lenses that do work.

Yes, you can use with your lenses. Also you can use with the canon 16-35L but in 20mm you see part of the holder of the filters.

As long as the filter thread on those lenses is 52mm, yes you can. You just need to check what the thread size is for the lens.

Yes. Lenses will work perfectly with a7 but because they are not full frame lenses they won't use the full 24 megapixels of the sensor.
